OUR GUIDE TO GRIFFITH PARK
"You can see just about all of Los Angeles from Griffith Park," Mike Eberts wrote 24 years ago in his
centennial（百年纪念）history of the park covering 4,300 acres.
Places Recommended
The Greek Theatre: From April to October you can catch a concert here if you prefer something more intimate than the Hollywood Bowl. Griffith himself oversaw the building of the outdoor theater that opened in 1930.
Griffith Observatory: It's said that more people have explored the stars through the observatory's solar telescope than anywhere else on Earth. This landmark, which opened in 1935, offers great views of the heavens and the Hollywood sign.
Besides the Greek Theatre and the Griffith Observatory, the park's best-known attractions, there are camps for boys and girls, open lawns（草坪）and a lone mountain lion.
Safety Measures
Social distancing: Like everywhere in L. A. County, all visitors are required to wear face coverings and stay at least six feet from others.
Stay found: It's easy to lose your way in a place as big as Griffith Park. So use a map to plan your route. Then drop pins along your electronic course or use a GPS app such as Gaia to stay on track.
Suggestions for a Tight Schedule
If you have just one day to explore the green heart of L. A., Schreiner suggests this itinerary（行程）. Many of these sites are closed for now. To save time, go car-free and instead use ride shares, DASH shuttles, Metro trains and the new shuttle.

As the threat of Ebola（埃博拉）has left the U.S. and the story has left the headlines, people are still heading over to West Africa to fight the virus that has claimed nearly 10,000 lives. Yanti Turang, a rock band singer-turned-nurse and founder of the nonprofit LearnToLive, is one of them. She is now on the way to Sierra Leone（塞拉利昂）to help save lives.
Her mind wanting to be a nurse dated from Hurricane Katrina happening in New Orleans 2 years ago. Then, Yanti was living there with her band Pocketfoxx. They were on their way home from recording an album in California, when they learned about a storm that was about to hit Louisiana's Gulf Coast.
"I felt, in a way, helpless." she said. "I felt like I couldn't give or do anything except support people going through it, or the health care workers. And I remember thinking, music's awesome, I love it, but I think that I need to move on and maybe choose a career where I can actually get in there and help out in a situation like this." So she packed up her guitar and moved back to her home country, Australia, where she trained in a nursing program for the next two years.
Her love of New Orleans drew her back to the state again when she finished the program. However, it wasn't straight to the doctor's office or hospital for Yanti. As she waited for her registration, she worked as a movie nurse. It was on a movie set that Yanti thought of the idea for her nonprofit LearnToLive.
She raised $6,000 in an online campaign. In the last three years, she brought three crews of nurses and aid over to Indonesia and cared for 2,500 patients. This year, LearnToLive is expanding to Laos and soon to South Africa.
"It's the course my life was supposed to go," she said earlier for an intensive Ebola response training.（1）Why is Yanti heading to Sierra Leone?
A.To learn music.
B.To visit her family.
C.To help fight Ebola.
D.To take a course on life.
（2）What made Yanti decide to train to be a nurse?
A.Her desire to provide practical help.
B.Her real experience in fighting Ebola.

（3）What can we infer about Yanti from paragraph 3?
A.She is homesick and timid.
B.She is helpless and skeptical.
C.She is motivated and determined.
D.She is ambitious and intelligent.
（4）What can we learn about LearnToLive?
A.It is based in Sierra Leone.
B.It aims to train young nurses.
C.It collects money to make movies.
D.It provides international medical care.
（1）What underlined word "fossils" mean in Paragraph 2?
A.A kind of bodies which are still full of life now.
B.A kind of stones which were from ancient animals.
C.A kind of animals which were relatives to modern birds.
D.A kind of ancient dinosaurs which hid deeply in the earth.

Schools are under constant pressure to make budget cuts, and music programs are often first on the chopping block. However, a recent study from the University of British Columbia in Canada has shown that students who took music lessons in high school performed better in subjects such as English, science, and math.
The researchers collected data from over 100,000 students at public high schools across the province of British Columbia. Some of them took music lessons during high school while others never attended them. Checking the test scores of students who took music classes with those of their peers, the study found that the musicians got higher grades in a range of different school subjects.
Research like this has been done before, but as for the number of respondents, this study is much larger, and it took into account other factors that may have affected the results. For example, perhaps students who took music classes were encouraged to do so because they already had good grades. This UBC study rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better academically, and the researchers still find a clear effect of music lessons on academic performance.
Not only did music students perform better than non-musicians, but students who played an instrument did even better than those who sang. "Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in an ensemble（乐团）is very rewarding," says Martin Guhn, one of the researchers. "A student can learn to read music notes, achieve eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills and establish interpersonal relationships."
What this study doesn't tell us, though, is why music makes these students perform better academically, but the research paper mentions a few possible explanations. Music practice is linked with neurological（神经系统的）changes that improves certain brain functions, affecting memory and planning skills. Besides, there is a possible motivational factor. Students who take music lessons see a tangible result from practice—they get better—and they might apply that to their other work. And the non-competitive team aspect of making music together could strengthen students' social development, which would also help them in other areas.
（1）How did the researchers find the result of the research?
A.By conducting tests.
B.By analyzing causes.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By building models.
（2）How is the recent study different from previous ones?
A.It covered more school subjects.
B.It allowed for students who sang.
C.It was carried out nationwide.
D.It produced a more convincing result.
（3）What is the author's purpose in mentioning Martin Guhn's words in Paragraph 4?
A.To speak highly of music students.
B.To explain why music helps students perform better.
C.To present the benefits of playing instruments.
D.To encourage students to join an ensemble.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A.Music practice can make an overall improvement in students' brain.
B.Progress made in music may motivate students to work harder in math.
C.Singing can't make any difference in improving students' memory.
D.Playing in an orchestra could make students less competitive in other fields.

Bales left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone.
She'd checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed.
The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees.
She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge（山脊）toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Suddenly she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which had been made by a pair of sneakers—typically not the type for hiking.
Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong gusts of wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the sneaker tracks in the snow.
Paragraph 1:
Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. ________
Paragraph 2:
Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. ________

Checking the test scores of students who took music classes with those of their peers, the study found that the musicians got higher grades in a range of different school subjects.可知，研究人员收集了不列颠哥伦比亚省公立高中10万多名学生的数据。

其中的一些学生在中学时期上过音乐课，而其他学生从未上过音乐课。

研究人员将这两类孩子的学习成绩做了比较，发现学过音乐的孩子各学科成绩都更优异。

由此可知，研究人员采用的是一种对比的方法得出结果的。

故选C。

（2）D 细节理解题。

根据第三段中Research like this has been done before, but as for the number of respondents, this study is much larger, and it took into account other factors that may have affected the results.及This UBC study rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better academically, and the researchers still find a clear effect of music lessons on academic performance.可知，人们之前也做过类似的研究，但是此次研究的调查对象涉及人数更多，而且此次研究把可能影响到研究结果的其它因素也考虑到了。

在排除了影响成绩的其他因素之后，研究人员最终还是发现音乐课对成绩有明显的影响。

由此可知，此次研究过程更加严谨，结果更加令人信服。

故选D。

（3）C 目的意图题。

根据第四段中"Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in an ensemble（乐团）is very rewarding," says Martin Guhn, one of the researchers. "A student can learn to read music notes, achieve eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills and establish interpersonal relationships."可知，学习一门乐器或者参加乐团是很有价值的一件事情。

通过学习乐器，学生可以学会识别乐谱，促进手眼脑协调性，还能锻炼敏锐的听觉，建立良好的人际关系。

印证了本段的第一句话Not only did music students perform better than non-musicians, but students who played an instrument did even better than those who sang.由此可知，作者在第四段中提到Martin Guhn 的话是为了说明演奏乐器的好处。

故选C。

（4）B 推理判断题。

最后一段对音乐可以促进学习成绩提高做出了三点可能的解释。

其中提到了Besides, there is a possible motivational factor. Students who take music lessons see a tangible result from practice—they get better—and they might apply that to their other work.可知，学生在音乐课上通过不断
练习可以获得显著的成就，这种在音乐课上获得的成就也为他们学习其他学科带来了动力。

由此可知，音乐课上的成就可以激励孩子更努力地学习数学。

故选B。

【答案】
My gratitude to my family
My parents devote all that they have to me. Having seen my parents return home late at night, exhausted and hungry, I had an idea that I could cook dinner for them. I tried to cook several dishes, waiting anxiously for their appearance. And never will I forget how happy they were the first time they saw the dishes prepared by their beloved son.
With this experience rooted in my mind, I have a better understanding of love. What's more important is that I know it is never too late to express my love to them.

Paragraph 1:
Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. If she chose to follow the tracks, she'd add time and risk to her hiking. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger. She couldn't let this go. She called out into the frozen fog, "Is anybody out there? Do you need help?" The strong winds carried her voice away. Then she walked cautiously in the direction of tracks. She rounded a corner and spotted a man sitting motionless.
Paragraph 2:
Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. She approached him instantly and found he suffered from frostbite on his feet. Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, pouring him some sugary drink. The wind roared over and they would die soon if they didn't get out of there. She supported the man and inched along the trail. With great efforts, Bales managed to save the man's life. Exhausted, she felt that it was all worth it.
